Between baking and traveling I haven't had much time to write but our New London excursion was really fun. The students at Colby-Sawyer seemed very happy to see us during final exam week (Chippy, Cookie Monster, Coffee Toffee, Mint to Be and How Now were the favs) and the wonderful people at Artisan's were equally supportive. My only problem was that I spent everything that I earned in their store! So cute. They had hats, clothes, and pillows from local artisans ( hmmmmm, hence the name? ), great edibles from Stonewall Kitchens ( I love their stuff), unique jewelry, greeting cards, handmade local soaps, puzzles, cocktail napkins, wine glasses, music, cookbooks, kitchen gadgets...and, more and more and more. It felt like you could find almost anything there- except cupcakes, of course.
Tomorrow is the official beginning for Contest Cupcake #2...This one comes with a new set of rules and more giveaways. It will be interesting to see if it can compete with the 100+ entries for Mint to Be. And, we are already getting geared up for Contest Cupcake #3 which we hope to host like American Idol and let YOU pick the name. More about that later....
2011 is coming to a close and we are excited about continuing to grow in the Upper Valley and beyond in 2012. We have several new colleges signing up to have us visit their campus in January and February and Upper Valley events like Howl at the Moon- but, we want more! If you have a special business, local venue or event that you think might enjoy having the van please email us or give us a call. We will be vending all winter so we are available:)
